The hepatic flexure is located at the junction of the ascending colon and the transverse colon, while the splenic flexure is located at the junction of the transverse colon and the descending colon. Therefore, the flexures are located in the proximal (hepatic) and distal (splenic) parts of the transverse colon, which is part of the large intestine. Therefore, the correct answer is D, transverse colon.
